Una aproximación computacional para generar patrones de rugosidad superficial del pericarpio y la testa de algunas plantas: coincidencias en los resultados numéricos

this article proposes a phenomenolo-gical model that describes the pattern formation of the seedcoat (seedhead) of plant seeds through reaction-diffusion equations with parameters within turing's space. with the purpose of studying pattern formation, several numerical examples concerning simplified geometries of a seed are solved. the finite element method is used for the numerical solution along with the newton-raphson method for the approximation of partial non-linear differential equations. the numerical examples show that the model may represent the formation of different types of plant seedcoats.
